> Moreover, our politicians have placed their bets on two high-tech, two-shot and costly vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna. They require refrigeration that half the world can’t afford.

> American science has given us a Lamborghini when what the world needs is a Toyota

There is no Pfizer vaccine ... it's German science from Biontech. The author doesn't even get this detail right. Why should I take his panicky opinion serious?

> They actually represent an entirely new pandemic.

This is semantics abused for FUD. It's not a new pandemic - period.

> And by New Zealand’s or Taiwan’s measure, we look very bad.

Did it even occur to this guy that his favorite reference countries are small islands with basically just one major ship and airport?

> Be like a zero hero, like New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern.

This whole text is just a cheesy opinion piece - not a scientific view.

> No politician wanted to hear that evidence [by Drosten], and many continue to ignore it.

Not true - he's been the court scientist of German government since early 2020.
